Miss BG - Characters

Characters

• Miss BG Baxter: BG is short for Big Girl - and that's exactly what this 8-year-old thinks she is! BG is curious about everything around her and plunges head-on into adventures and escapades. She's a natural leader amongst her friends, even though she can be slightly bossy at times. She's also a bit of a tomboy, and loves to hang out with her best friends Gad and Alex in their super cool tree house.

BG is protective of her little brother George, but can lose patience with him too - especially when he insists on playing with her and her "grownup" friends all the time.

• George Baxter: George is BG's adorable little brother and is almost always seen with his beloved pet hamster, Albert, who travels around perched on George's head.

George really looks up to his older sister and always wants to play with her and her friends, especially in the tree house.

George tries to be like BG at times, copying her words and actions, and her approval is very important to him. Sensitive and sweet-natured, George is less self-confident than BG, but his insights into people and situations can sometimes be surprising.

• Charlotte Baxter: Mom works from the house as a freelance journalist and she is always busy trying to juggle her career while looking after her family and her younger sister.

She's warm, sympathetic and more understanding of her daughter than BG realizes, but she is tough. She doesn't lose her temper very often, but when she does, even BG runs for cover.

• Brittany-Ann Mcadams: Brittany-Ann is BG's next-door neighbor - and her arch nemesis. Rich, spoiled, and pretty, Brittany-Ann thinks she's VERY special and loves to brag to BG and her friends about the latest toys her parents bought her. She constantly competes with BG for attention from the other kids.

Underneath Brittany-Ann's spoiled persona, we get a glimpse of insecurtiy, but she hides it very well. Her vain preoccupation with her looks is in marked contrast to BG's tomboyish approach to life.

• Gad Mansour: Along with Alex, Gad is one of BG's best friends, but he's a little shy and quieter than both BG and Alex. But BG knows she can always count on him to help find a solution to any problem.

Gad is a whiz kid at science, loves studying and inventing things. He lives with his grandmother and father, who owns the local grocery store.

• Jeffrey Baxter: Good-natured and easygoing, Dad is the local vet. He's aware that BG has him wrapped around her finger, she's Daddy's Girl after all!

He usually says "yes" to anything while watching TV and on the rare occasion when he says "no," a few tears will work wonders. Still, Dad has his breaking point, and when he makes up his mind, that's it! No one, not even BG, can change it.

• Aunt Alice: Aunt Alice is Charlotte's sister. She spends a lot of time at BG's house and loves to spend time with BG and George and do projects with them when their parents are out.

In fact, she's BG's favorite babysitter.

• Terri: Terri babysits for BG and George when their aunt is not available.

She's studying at college but she loves to spend time with the kids. She especially likes dancing with BG, who has learned a lot of steps from her.

Terri also likes baking cakes for BG and George and especially loves it when they show her their drawings.

• Ouma Mansour: Ouma is Gad's grandmother, who lives with him and his Dad. She takes care of all the housework and cooking for them, and she tends a vegetable garden behind the family grocery store.

BG likes to seek Ouma out when she needs help.

• Billy: At 10-years-old, Billy is the oldest in his and BG's class, and so he thinks the rest are all babies.

Billy is great at skating and he likes to show off his skills to BG and all her friends. He also has a crush on Brittany-Ann.

• Kayla: Kayla is Brittany-Ann's best friend and she is always sucking up to her. In fact, she basically does everything Brittany-Ann tells her to, much to BG's disdain.

Kayla also has a hamster, just like BG's little brother George. Her name is Titus, and looks just like George's hamster, Albert, and sometimes they can't tell them apart!

• Mr. Ahmed Mansour: Mr. Mansour is Gad's father and Ouma's son.

• Robbie: Robbie is Alex's Older brother.

• Mrs. Martin: Mrs. Martin is BG, Gad, Alex, Brittany-Ann, Kayla & Billy's math, science, & homeroom teacher.

• Mr. Tyrone Grant: Mr. Tyrone Grant is BG, Gad, Alex, Brittany-Ann, Kayla, and BIlly's substitute, gym teacher & principal and he has a dog named Mitzi.

• Mrs. Mcadams: Mrs. Mcadams is Brittany-Ann's mom.

• Ian: Ian is friend of George.
